There’s a lot more to gardening than most people realize. If you choose to follow the natural gardening route, you may need to learn about factors, such as the soil’s pH balance and natural ways to fight off garden pests. An organic garden can be more than a little challenging for the novice. Keep reading to find out how the professionals do it.

TIP! Get your kids to help you grow your organic garden. Toiling together in the garden brings your family closer together and offers many different opportunities to learn new things and instill green values.

Strawberries are a great plant to grow in any organic garden, especially if you happen to have kids or any strawberry lover in your home. Small kids enjoy picking fruit themselves out of a garden. Because of this, they’ll be more likely to provide you with some assistance in your garden if they feel like they’re receiving something out of this.

Flower Beds

TIP! Strawberries are a good organic garden choice for families with strawberries, particularly everbearing strawberries. Little ones will be more likely to help when they can enjoy the fun of harvesting their own fruit.

Use about two to three inches of organic material as mulch in all of your flower beds. This is a good way to keep weed growth at bay and add nutrients that you need in your garden. It will also increase the visual appeal of the flower beds.

Spend your time working efficiently in your organic garden. Don’t waste your time by searching high and low for that packet of seeds or spade. Prepare them all ahead of time and have them handy before you need to garden, and then put them back in their place when done. Wear pants with several pockets or use a tool belt.

TIP! You can cover your muddied gardening footware easily by keeping plastic bags around. This way, you won’t break momentum by fussing with your shoes, and you’ll be quickly back in the garden to finish your work.

Pine needles should not be overlooked as a great source for mulch. Acidic soil is a favorite of garden plants that are high in acidity. For these types of plants, pine needles are wonderful for mulching. Cover the beds with a couple inches of needles and as they decompose, they will disperse acid to the soil.

Coffee Grounds

TIP! Spacing is one of the primary considerations when planning an organic garden. Many people don’t realize exactly how much space a plant needs when it grows.

Coffee grounds work great mixed in with your soil. Your plants will thrive from the nitrogen contained in the grounds. Plants need an adequate nitrogen source in order to thrive. Adding coffee grounds, chemical fertilizer, or diluted urea to your soil increases the soil’s nitrogen content and will help to make your plants grow faster, taller and healthier.

When creating a compost pile, use dried plant materials and green plants in equal parts. Your green material can be made up of produce waste, used floral arrangements, lawn cuttings, leaves, and other yard waste. For the dry end of the spectrum, think of things like paper and cardboard, sawdust, hay, etc. However, stay away from meats, manure from carnivores, charcoal and other potentially harmful substances.

TIP! You need to avoid chores in your organic garden stacking up. Even if you can’t tend to your garden daily, you can do little things to help so that there is not a huge amount of work to be done when you are ready to get back to it.

Now, you shouldn’t get your hopes up and believe that a few tips are going to turn you into an instant professional gardener. However, these tips are a great starting point if you do plan to grow organically. As you implement these tips and hone your skills, you’ll be a professional green-thumb-holder in no time.
